Park Street will be closed intermittently from Seventh Avenue to Ninth Avenue for the relocations of these houses.

The relocations are part of the site preparation for the new Admission and Financial Aid Center to be constructed directly across from the Humanities and Social Studies Complex at Park Street and Eighth Avenue.

The CRSSJ is moving to a one-story, college-owned house at 913 Eighth Ave. Renovation and expansion of that structure, which will include respectful space for students of all religions and spiritual traditions, will be completed this summer. The current CRSSJ facility at 1233 Park St. will be razed in late July, as the last step to clear the site to prepare for new building construction.

"Grinnell College is committed to safety and we are working with local officials to have proper precautions in place, including barricading the roadways," says Rick Whitney, assistant vice president for facilities management. "Please obey all signs and warnings."

Regular construction updates will be distributed to local media outlets.
